Shinn was angry with the world for allowing his family to die, and Orb was a convienient scape goat.

That was really it. Orb wasn't really at fault. Had they surrendered, Blue Cosmos would have taken it over and killed all the coordinators, which included Shinn and his family.

Had they blown the Driver before launching AA into space, EA might have just left them alone but the TSA wouldn't have been formed, and shortly afterwards Zala would have Genesised the Earth, killing everyone, including Shinn's family.

So really, Shinn couldn't win. There was no way his family was getting out of there alive. He just decided to blame Orb, instead of understanding it was just something that couldn't be helped due to circumstance.

Though Durandal intentionally making Shinn as arrogant and self rightous as possible so he'd be an easily manipulated tool didn't help either.

Nice episode, and people who think that Cagalli was "reduced to a crybaby" in Destiny probably don't understand her attachment to Orb. As this and other episodes point out, Cagalli really does get emotional when it comes to her country. And while she may act brave and rash when facing EA or ZAFT forces, it's a different thing altogether when facing her fellow countrymen.

Watching some of the episodes of the remastered version and I must say, some of the scenes look pretty horrendous in comparison to the original, especially the faces of some of the characters.

Yeah, that's something I've been complaining since early remastered episodes. I'm glad I'm not alone. I think the one who receives the greatest blow of this "deformed face" is Kira even though he's the main character .

Yeah, I feel bad for anyone still waiting for that movie. Strange that the ending of GSD showed Cagalli without the ring but later the creator apologized and said that he was intent was for Athrun and Cagalli to eventually mend bridges and get back together and that he was sorry for the confusion.

So, before my computer decided to fuck me over, and die, I was unable to continue watching the HD releases. I was at ep 11 when it crashed, and getting very into it (rare for me with SEED). But then I remembered I have the first 25 eps on DVD, bought it back in 2008 on a whim, needed a quick Gundam fix. I watched an episode last night, man....I got really spoiled from those HD episodes.
